nikbj68, I did read "Cobra in the Barn" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have always maintained that half the fun of the old car hobby is searching out long forgotten vehicles and attempting to buy them. About 10 years ago I stopped to look at a RWA Midget for sale in a driveway a half mile up the road from my house. I noticed another car in the garage, but could only see the rear bumper. I thought it was a Mercedes 190 but asked the owner "Is that a Mercedes 300sl?" He said "Come here and help me move these bikes and you can take a look at it" After we moved several bicycles that were parked against/next to it and lifted the upside down canoe off of it, sure enough, there was a 1960 or 61 300sl roadster, still in its original paint, with hardtop installed. The gent inherited the car from his father in law who had purchased it new. He knew what he had and the car was not and is not for sale, but I ended up with a fun story and made a new friend. Several years later, I bought a low mileage 71 Etype 6 cylinder coupe from a fellow who lives 2 doors away from the guy with the Merc. I chased that one for 11 years before finally being able to buy it. I sold it in 2005 to help pay for my MK IV. They're still out there waiting to be found, just keep your eyes and ears open! John
